The Eccentric Antics of Litvinov
Everybody that has had Artem Litvinov on their tournament table already will know how eccentric the Russian can be.
Just now Marcin Wydrowski min-raised to 1,200 from under the gun and Litvinov called without looking at his cards. "No look, I call," he said and the whole table started giggling already.
On the 
?
?
flop he check-called a bet of 2,000, still without looking at his cards. "Okay, one time call." Now on the 
turn he checked and Wydrowski bet 3,325. "Good card. Low card. Good for me." Litvinov then peeked at one of his cards and said "first card flush draw, promise," pointing at the card he had just looked at. The second card was still unknown to everyone including the Russian. He made the call and saw the 
on the river.
Wydrowski asked for the stack of his opponent and then bet 8,500 while the Russian started begging "no no no no please". Litvinov then checked his second card and then started talking to himself. In table chat he went through all possible hands that his opponent may have and was certain that Wydrowski wouldn't be bluff. "I know you. You not bluff, my friend."
Ultimately, he tossed in the chips and Wydrowski turned over 
?
for a busted flush draw. Litvinov jumped up, started dancing and singing while smashing his 
?
to the middle of the table. He even asked the dealer if he could touch her and then gave a massage. "Good dealer, very good dealer." Litvinov said and eventually sat down some time later.
